TROUBLED two-time boxing world champ Scott Harrison has fallen foul of the law again.

The 35-year-old, who made a remarkable return to the ring after a six-and-a-half year absence, has been charged with drinking in a public place.

It is alleged Harrison was drinking at Calton Place in Glasgow on Friday evening.

Earlier in the day the Cambuslang fighter was spotted stripped to the waist in nearby Saltmarket and then slumped in a doorway.

One fight fan said: “I saw a bare-chested guy stopping people in the street.

“I did a double take when I saw it was Scott Harrison. I don’t know if he knew the people he was stopping or what he was saying but one or two of them gave him short shrift. He looked like he had been drinking.”

Harrison was jailed for eight months in 2008 for drink-driving and assault. He served four months.

In 2009 he was again sentenced to 30 months’ imprisonment for assault in Malaga, Spain.

He had served five months on remand in Alhaurin de la Torre and was released early.

In November last year Harrison was sentenced to four years in his absence by a judge in Malaga after being found guilty of assault.

Harrison appealed but the appeal failed.

Earlier this year Harrison walked free from court after being cleared of forcing his way into his terrified ex-girlfriend’s house.

A Police Scotland spokeswoman said last night: “A 35-year-old man is the subject of a report to the procurator fiscal for allegedly drinking in a public place.

“The man was cautioned and charged at Calton Place at around 1800 hours on Friday, July 19.”
